## Open now

- #137105: Context compressor can replace the newest, still-unread tool result with a 1-line stub (and the terminal stub always says "1 lines output")
- PR #137108: fix(compression): retain unread tool results after notices

These members all concern the context compressor and how it treats the most recent tool-result round, including cases where it may be replaced by a short stub or where trailing non-assistant rows and notices follow it. One also notes that the terminal stub text reads "1 lines output". Titles alone don't show what changes were made or their status.
